REMOTE VIA ZOOM: Virtual Film Screening of “Race Amity and the Other Tradition"

Monday, May 247:00—8:30 PMOnline

Join the Beverly Public Library in collaboration with the Heathmere Center for Cultural Engagement for a virtual screening of “Race Amity and the Other Tradition."

This documentary seeks to expand the public discourse on race from the “blame/grievance/rejection” cycle to a view from a different lens, the lens of “amity/collaboration/access and equity.” In contrast to the lens that focuses exclusively on the racist traditions that are rooted in America’s social history, the moral counterweight of close, loving, friendship and collaboration, which have always been present in our history, represents “the other tradition.” This “other tradition” is a source of inspiration and presents models of behavior that are instructional and include unknown and uncelebrated legacies to be absorbed and emulated across generations of present day Americans.

Zoom invitations will be sent out the day before.
